    i purchased a used smokercraft big fisherman, i did not notice till i got home that the previous owner removed the rear aluminum corner casting at the transom, and he jimmy rigged a pc of aluminum for a rear mount trolling motor, i would like to fine a replacement corner support, any ideas where i can get one used or new, does it sound like an expensive part, i contacted the last owner, he said that is the way he bought it.

    You could easily fabricate a triangular gusset from angle stock, wood, or fiberglass.
    Doubt you’ll find parts anywhere, unless you can find one junked.

    What's in the other corner, a casting ? Seems strange. Maybe you could fabricate something out of sheet alloy and pop rivet it in, if it is a structural consideration.
